Any tips/tricks for 2 babies under 2?

What’s the transition like from 1 to 2 babies? All I ever see online is everyone saying it’s horrible and writing negative experiences, it’s sort of putting a bummer on my excitement. I understand it’s going to be hard, babies ARE hard, it will be double the work, but surely it’s not as bad as everyone makes it out to be? Did you find it easier with two? What are some tips to cope with 2 under 2? I thrive off routine, my 18 month old has been in the same routine since he was 12 weeks old and it works so great.
